These  :iro  the  years  our  God 
Lays  down,  and  untiring  loth, 
1 1  is  sceptre  and  his  rod 
As  lie  were  tired  of  both. 
Bids  men  and  women  take 
11  is  empire  for  a  while, 
To  ban,  to  bless,  to  make 
The  children  weep  or  smile. 
All  power  be  yours.  lie  saitli — 
Over  My  little  ones  ; 
The  power  of  life  and  death. 
The  power  of  clouds  and  suns, 
The  power  of  weal  and  harm 
Be  yours  to  have  and  hold ; 
In  you  they  shall  go  warm, 
In  you  be  pinched  with  cold. 
For  every  needless  tear, 
For  all  the  smiles  unsmiled. 
For  lonely  wrong  and  fear 
Brought  on  any  little  child, 
Myself  will  exact  thp  fee, 
A  Ood  of  wrath  and  scorn  ; 
Better  that  day  that  ye 
Wore  dead  ere  ye  were  born. 
tions  for  preparation,  should  be  given 
with  each  day's  plan.  A  simple  card 
catalogue  method  of  keeping  this  infor¬ 
mation  can  be  easily  developed. 
On  Friday  the  teacher  may  write  on 
the  board  the  food  to  be  served  each  clay 
of  the  following  week.  If  pupils  are  to 
supply  materials,  those  who  are  to  do  so 
should  be  given  slips  stating  exact 
amounts  of  what  they  are  to  bring.  It 
will  be  necessary  each  evening  to  re¬ 
mind  the  pupils  who  are  to  bring  the 
next  day's  supplies. 
One  older  pupil  to  cook  and  a  younger 
one  to  assist  should  be  appointed  for  the 
week  ahead.  Two  housekeepers  to  clean 
up  should  also  serve  for  the  same  time. 
The  boys  should  shave  equally  with  the 
girls  in  this  work.  The  cook  should  do 
all  tilings  necessary  in  preparation  either 
before  school  calls  or  at  recess,  so  that 
only  the  actual  process  of  eooking  should 
take  place,  during  school  time.  While  the 
cook  is  getting  the  food  ready  to  servo, 
after  the  noon  dismissal,  the  assistant 
should  get  service  dishes  ready,  pass  two 
paper  napkins  (one  to  lay  on  the  desk 
and  one  for  napkin)  to  each  pupil  and 
then  he  ready  to  pass  tile  hot  food.  Whe.u 
all  are  through  eating,  the  housekeepers 
should  wash  dishes,  put  everything  away 
neatly  and  sweep  floor  if  necessary. 
The  bulletin  further  states  that  in 
case  the  opportunities  for  cooking  at  the 
Con  tea  riwise — Ili  s  w  r  a  th 
Our  Lord  God  put  away — 
Tour  watchful  love  till  death 
I  will  repay,  repay. 
Lord  of  the  skies  and  lands. 
Take  pity  on  Thy  dust, 
Strengthen  our  mortal  hands 
Lest  we  betray  Thy  trust! 
- — Katharine  Tynan.

Among  methods  of  utilizing  cold  roast 
meat  little  turnovers  will  he  found  very 
nice,  especially  if  there  is  some  pastry 
left  over  from  other  baking.  The  meat 
should  have  gristle  removed,  and  should 
then  he  chopped  fine  in  the  meat  chopper, 
and  well  seasoned.  Boll  the  pastry  thin 
and  cut  into  rounds.  Cover  half  (lie 
round  with  seasoned  minced  meat  moist¬ 
ened  with  gravy  or  water;  brush  the 
edges  of  the  pastry  with  cold  water,  then 
double  over  and  pinch  firmly  together. 
Fry  the  turnovers  in  deep  fat.  or  hake  in 
a  quick  oven.  Strained  tomato  sauce, 
highly  seasoned,  is  nice  to  moisten  the 
meat  in  these  turnovers.

SEVERAL  perplexed  parents  have  asked 
for  help  in  the  moral  training  of  chil¬ 
dren.  feeling  the.  need  of  reading  and 
study  in  this  line.  There  is  now  a  great 
mass  of  literature  on  this  subject,  some 
broad-minded  and  helpful,  some  ham¬ 
pered  by  theory  or  individual  fad.  A 
standard  hook  that  has  been  found  help¬ 
ful  by  many  people  is  “Moral  Instruction 
of  Children,”  by  Felix  Adler,  which  dis¬ 
cusses  the  methods  by  which  such  in¬ 
struction  should  be  imparted.  Some  of 
the  newer  books  dealing  with  child  life 
have  taken  up  especially  the  problems  of 
the  city  home,  which  emphasizes  the  fact 
that  the  farm  is  the  best  place  in  the 
world  to  bring  up  children.  In  the  city 
flat  the  child  has  very  little  part  in  the 
home  life,  among  people  of  coin  fort  aide 
means;  commodities  are  ordered  by  tele¬ 
phone.  delivered  at  the  dumb-waiter,  and 
prepared  with  the  minimum  of  exertion. 
A  child  who  helps  in  the  garden,  gathers 
vegetables,  has  various  small  chores,  and 
becomes  acquainted  with  the  farm  ani¬ 
mals  is  really  developing  hands  and  brain

in  u  way  that  gives  him  a  definite  place 
iri  home  and  social  life.  It  is,  in  many 
cases,  the  lack  of  this  that  makes  a  city 
hoy  belong  to  a  “gang,”  and  get  into  all 
sorts  of  mischief.  A  hoy  whose  duties 
are  made  interesting,  and  who  feels  that 
lie  has  a  definite  value  in  his  home,  is 
being  educated  for  useful  maturity.

A  RECENT  bulletin  sent  out  by  the 
North  Dakota  Agricultural  College  is  de¬ 
voted  to  “The  Rural  lint  Lunch,”  It 
discusses  the  preparation  and  serving  of 
a  hot  lunch  in  the  rural  school,  and 
points  out  its  advantages,  not  only  in 
physical  benefit  to  the  pupils,  hut  also  as 
a  definite  part  of  the  school  work.  The 
following  suggestions  are  made  for  plan¬ 
ning  this  work : 
Plans  for  each  day  should  he  made 
from  two  to  four  weeks  in  advance.  If 
the  teacher  does  not  feel  capable  of  doing 
this  planning,  a  splendid  opportunity  for 
school  and  home  co-operation  is  afforded. 
The  women  of  the  community  at  a  meet¬ 
ing  of  their  Woman's  Club,  Farmers’ 
Club,  Ladies’  Aid  Society,  or  any  similar 
organization,  may  appoint  a  committee 
of  three.  This  committee  should  plan 
one  suitable  hot  dish  for  each  of  the  days 
assigned  to  them.  A  list  of  ingredients 
and  the  proper  proportions  for  the  size 
of  the  school,  together  with  definite  direc- 
school  are  very  limited,  the  mothers  often 
agree  to  provide  for  one  day  out  of  the 
week  by  taking  turns  in  sending  a  dish 
either  in  the  fireless  cooker  or  one  that 
may  easily  be  re-heated  at  school,  as 
baked  beans,  macaroni  and  cheese,  cscal- 
loped  tomatoes  or  corn,  etc.  Thus  the 
school  need  plan  for  only  four  days  and 
at  the  same  time,  much  greater  variety 
in  foods  can  he  afforded.  In  an  average 
size  school,  no  mother  would  have  to 
send  more  frequently  than  once  in  two 
or  three  months.  It  may  be  easily  seen 
that  an  intelligent  teacher  may  make  this 
hot  lunch  a  valuable  part  of  the  school 
course.  In  addition  to  the  domestic  sci¬ 
ence  training,  shared  by  hoys  and  girls 
alike,  it  gives  an  opportunity  for  tactful 
instruction  in  manners  and  social  usages. 
It  may  also  aid,  as  the  bulletin  points 
out,  in  arithmetic,  geography,  physiology, 
and  other  studies  in  the  regular  school 
course.  There  must  be  many  rural 
schools  where,  during  the  coming  Winter, 
Consideration  should  be  given  to  the  hot 
lunch.  Many  school  districts  would  be 
helped  by  the  formation  of  a  mothers’ 
club,  with  an  interest,  quite  unofficial, 
vet  sincere,  in  all  the  problems  of  teacher 
and  pupils.  Such  a  club  could  develop 
the  liot  lunch  idea  and  keep  in  personal 
touch  with  the  teacher’s  plans  in  this  and 
other  lines.  We  should  like  to  hear 
from  any  country  community  where  the 
women  have  organized  to  give  help  or 
encouragement  in  school  matters.

Using  the  Wild  Grapes 
Fox  Grape  Jelly. — Stem  half  the 
grapes,  and  cook  half  with  their  stems,  as 
this  adds  to  the  characteristic  flavor  ; 
cover  well  with  water,  and  boil  until  soft. 
As  the  skins  are  very  tough,  it  is  well  to 
mash  the  fruit  a  little  with  a  wooden  po¬ 
tato  masher  while  cooking.  Strain,  meas¬ 
ure  the  juice,  and  finish  like  any  other 
jelly,  using  a  pound  of  sugar  to  a  pint  of 
juice. 
Frost  Grape  Jelly. — The  little  frost  or 
chicken  grape,  small  and  seedy,  makes  a 
Very  nice  light  red  jelly.  Cook  like  the 
fox  grape,  use  sugar  a  pound  to  the  pint, 
and  cook  20  minutes.  Fox  and  frost 
grapes  combined  make-  a  nice  tart  jelly 
to  use  with  meats. 
Fox  Grape  Conserve. — Pulp  the  grapes, 
set  aside  the  skins,  and  cook  pulp  with 
just  enough  water  to  keep  it  from  scorch¬ 
ing.  Strain,  add  the  skins  with  a  little 
more  water,  and  cook  for  30  minutes. 
Measure,  and  add  a  pound  of  sugar  to 
three  cups  of  fruit,  boil  until  nicely 
thickened  (15  or  20  minutes)  and  then 
put  away  in  .sealed  jars.  Some  add  stick 
cinnamon  or  orange  peel  for  flavoring, 
hut  the  rich  tart  flavor  of  the  grapes  alone 
is  excellent  for  serving  with  ducks,  goose, 
or  roast  pork  or  mutton.
